Let's go find a swordfish!

The comfortable and beautiful boats designed by Ed Monk have been treasured for cruising, working, and living aboard since the 1920s. Thousands of his fish-boats, sailboats, runabouts, tugs, and power yachts have been built, mostly on the Pacific coast and often by well-known builders such as McQueen, Philbrook, Grandy, Wakefield, and Tollefson. Monk's books, his many popular articles in maritime magazines, and the reminiscences of those who worked with him highlight his practical philosophy of design. His boats were intended to handle the often rough and dangerous waters between California and Alaska, as well as the open ocean, in ease and safety.

GINA MARIE is a Monk Design built by Rawson in Redmond, Washington. The quality of construction and equipment is commercial grade designed for offshore fishing and diving. With recently added 25-foot swordfish plank, this vessel is the ultimate turnkey commercial swordfish boat. Additionally, the vessel offers very comfortable in-cabin accommodations.

The layout includes forward stateroom, starboard workroom, port enclosed head, and up steps to large open pilothouse/saloon/galley. The forward stateroom is furnished with four single bunks (or two bunks over the V-berth), access to chain locker, two under-berth storage cabinets, starboard hanging locker, port cabinet/storage shelves, sunlight/escape hatch, and privacy door.
